Twelve people were killed Monday by stray gunfire in a wave of violence in Kinshasa, said a spokesman for the national police.
The toll was a provisional estimate, Pierrot Rombaut Mwanamputu said in an emergency broadcast that interrupted programming on public television.
Sustained gunfire had been reported earlier close to the central prison in the Congolese capital, residents and activists said.
